Finally we were able to submit, and see some challenge quilts again! The last time was in September 2020 and now, almost 2 Covid years later, we were back in the park in Arnprior for our June meeting which included the wrap up of the Covid Challenge and the President's Challenge. Challenges are projects with a particular theme where guild members can showcase their creativity and imagination. Typically issued in September at the beginning of each guild year, challenges are open to all members. Prizes are awarded based on "viewer's choice" voting results. Covid Challenge The Covid challenge was issued by then Programs lead Joyce in September 2020 and with no opportunity to physically get together in our 2020-2021 guild year, the challenge was extended for another year by this year's Program lead Brigid. The challenge was to: "Make something completely from scraps. No shopping allowed. It doesn`t actually have to be scraps, as long as you used up material you had on hand." Winners! 1st: Rennie Hickey 2nd: Mary DeVries President's Challenge Guild president Vickie's challenge this year was to: Create a quilt using the Drunkard's Path units. The Drunkard's Path is a traditional block that features curved piecing. And for fun, add a bit of emerald green to commemorate our guild’s 20th anniversary.
